| Summary: | Since its beginnings, philosophy has been associated with a critical quest for answers and has rejected biased and uncritical a priori interpretations. Methodic doubt has thus become not only the ever-present method of philosophy, but also a symbol of defiance against every kind of closed-minded and ideological thinking that has a tendency to simplify explanations and adapt reality to its own projections about the said reality. This type of thinking has always been linked to truth claims made by individual power entities. In the past, we have witnessed twists and abuses of ideology with far-reaching political consequences and yet the problem still persists. Each and every situation affected by crisis is a breeding ground for quick, clear and black and white explanations which attract attention and gain support, since they are generally easy to comprehend. This paper introduces a philosophical context of ideological thinking, in which the "will to power" is typical, as reflected upon by many thinkers, among them Józef Tischner who draws from his personal experience with the Communist regime in Poland. La philosophie a toujours été associée à une quête critique de réponses et a rejeté les interprétations a priori qui étaient biaisées et non critiques. Le doute méthodique est ainsi devenu non seulement une méthode de philosophie constamment présente, mais aussi un symbole de méfiance contre toute forme de pensée étroite et idéologique qui a tendance à simplifier les explications et à adapter la réalité à ses propres projections sur ladite réalité. Ce type de pensée a toujours été lié aux affirmations de vérité formulées par des entités de pouvoir individuelles. Dans le passé, nous avons été témoins de rebondissements et d’abus d’idéologie avec des conséquences politiques profondes, et pourtant le problème persiste. Chaque situation touchée par une crise devient un terreau fertile pour des explications rapides, claires et en noires et blanc qui attirent l’attention et gagnent du soutien, car elles sont généralement faciles à comprendre. Cet article présente un contexte philosophique de pensée idéologique, pour lequel la “volonté de puissance” est typique, comme en témoignent de nombreux penseurs, parmi lesquels Józef Tischner qui s’inspire de sa propre expérience en rapport avec le régime communiste en Pologne. La filosofia è sempre stata associata a una ricerca critica di risposte e ha rifiutato interpretazioni difformi a priori e acritiche. Il dubbio costante è diventato così non solo un metodo onnipresente della filosofia, ma anche un simbolo di sfida contro ogni forma di pensiero chiuso e ideologico che tende a semplificare le spiegazioni e ad adattare la realtà alle proprie proiezioni su di essa. Questo tipo di pensiero è sempre stato legato ad affermazioni di verità fatte da singole entità di potere. In passato abbiamo assistito a colpi di scena e abusi dell’ideologia con profonde conseguenze politiche, eppure il problema persiste. Ogni situazione di crisi diventa terreno fertile per spiegazioni rapide, chiare, nero su bianco che attirano l’attenzione e ottengono consensi, perché di solito sono facili da capire. Questo articolo presenta uno sfondo filosofico del pensiero ideologico, per il quale la “volontà di potenza” è tipica, come evidenziato da molti pensatori, tra cui Józef Tischner che attinge alla propria esperienza in relazione al regime comunista in Polonia. |
